Yes, I did do that wrong, so attempting to follow the HDHR
instructions on mythtv.org I went back to choose a different lineup.
The problem I'm having now is that there isn't a lineup specific to
the HDHR, so I chose the digital cable which at least has all the
channels the HDHR can tune, but also has lots that only get tuned by a
read digital STB. Anyway, having done that Myth recognizes a few (15
maybe) channels - but doesn't map the other 85 to anything. The other
85 channels work, the HDHR can tune them, but they work with strange
channel numbers, like 100#6 instead of 9.2, etc. and don't have
program guide data yet because they don't have XMLTV IDs.
I got help offline learning a little about the XMLTV IDs, but I
haven't figured out where the right channel numbers come from so I'm
stuck.
I have a busy week in front of me so in less someone can write a few
sentences that really turn on the lights for me it's likely to be
about 2 weekends before I can get back to this again. Disappointed in
myself in that I've owned this HDHR for 4 months now and it remains
utterly useless to me.
I do appreciate your help. Thanks!
Cheers,
Mark
